On her way into the event, Berry, 50, stopped to show off her monochromatic look on the red carpet and, while doing so, inadvertently struck a pose that looked very much like the celebrity shorthand for "I'm pregnant and officially ready to announce it to the world!" Think: shoulders back, hands resting lightly on stomach, Mona Lisa smile. The rumor mill kicked into high gear, of course, with countless publications and websites speculating that the X-Men: Days of Future Past star was preparing to welcome her third child.

The rumors, however, are "absolutely not true," Berry's rep told Us Weekly. On Monday, Berry jumped to her own defense with a coy Instagram post. "Can a girl have some steak and fries??" she captioned a close-up shot of herself, adding the eye-rolling and winking emojis.

Berry's used to sticking up for herself. In W's 2016 Royals portfolio, she revealed that she had to beg to be taken seriously in Hollywood. "I came from the world of beauty pageants and modeling, and right away when people heard that, I got discounted as an actor," she said. "So, I had the job of trying to eliminate that part of my persona, and Spike [Lee] gave me a chance to do that. And I took on roles early on that really didn't rely on my physical self at all and that was a good way to sort of get some credibility within my industry."

At this point, she's clearly got that credibility, along with the star power—and pregnancy rumors—to match. Kudos to Berry for shutting the rumor mill down with a single delightful caption. Now, let's all stop speculating about whether a celebrity might be pregnant based on how they stand in a couple of photos, deal? Deal.
